Their sap can be a skin irritant.Btw, anybody got a suggestion for a large ornamental plant? (around 1 to 1.5 m in hight would be nice) I'm building one very big plant container (using 4 palettes for sides) and I need something to display in it. The plant should be able to tolerate sun/drought and to some extent frost with on my account minimum effort for frost protection. I'm thinking perhaps a small fruit tree/bush but those are a lot of work and need lots of water. Perhaps something with palm type leaves?
Hortensias are quite resistant and dispalys enormous purple to rose flowers depending on the soil acidity.
